Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Assurance purports that all persons should receive essential personal health services. Assessment refers to systematically collecting data on the population, monitoring the population's health sta-tus, and making information available about the health of the community. Policy development refers to the need to provide leadership in developing policies that support the health of the pop-ulation, including the use of the scientific knowledge base in making decisions about policy. Advocacy embodies an ethical focus grounded in quality of life.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Feminist theory ascribes to the idea that women's thinking and moral experiences are important and should be considered. A feminist perspective leads us to think critically about connections among gender, disadvantage, and health as well as the distribution of power in public health processes. Feminists are women and men who hold a worldview advocating economic, social, and political equality for women that is equivalent to that of men.
